The "Secret Of Light" lamp responds to your breath mimicking the delicate flower of the dandelion weed. Where you blow on it the yellow lights gently fade. Turn it on by gently shaking it.
It was created by designers Qin Xue, Cao iXiaoxiao & Wei Hangshuai.
Hilary Hayes has cornered the market on LED scarves with ‘The Breathe Project.’ The scarf featured in ‘The Breathe Project’ senses when you exhale and emits and emits an LED light pattern.
Hilary Hayes’ ‘The Breathe Project’ reminds us to focus on the delicacy of life by lighting up each and every time you breathe.
Are you breathing? Do you have a gadget that can be charged via a USB port? Well if you answered yes to both, then you are in luck. This instructable shows how to make a device that will charge your USB-capable devices while you do what you do best. Breathe.
The Breathe Table was developed by Qusai Kathawala to allow participants to converse with one another using their breath.
It senses each person's breathing via a newly designed breath sensor, a make micro-controller and netConnect software.
The table acts not only as a display but also as the source of light in an otherwise dark room, so you can see yourself in the light of your collective breathing.
Simon Heijdens uses his work to play with the the fact that natural processes are becoming rare in our increasingly planned surrounding. He uses wind, temperature and movement sensors to reconnect his beautiful light sculptures with the environmental climate around us.
My favourite is his espressobar in Beuningen Museum Rotterdam where he uses optical software in the ceiling to read and interpret words that appear on the magazines and brochures left by patrons on the tables of the cafe, and transforms them into ceiling ornaments that word by word grow over the days and weeks, fed by the words on the table.
In the 1940s Dr. Arnold Kegel created the Kegel perineometer, a medical device developed to help women with pelvic exercises.
The "Kegel Controller" is my new favourite use of Max/msp+jitter software! It is an interactive art performance using biofeedback from pelvic muscles to manipulate sound and video. Information is collected from the perineometer connected to the performer's perineum. The perineometer output is used to produce sounds and manipulate video on a small LCD display.
The best thing about this work is that it is performed without explanatory documentation, prompting interested audience members to ask the performer how the output is controlled ; .)
I've just listened to ANAT's Super Human, Revolution of the Species podcast of Svenja Kratz discussing some of the ethical issues that the manipulation of living organisms and use of biotechnologies for art production provokes. Giving examples from personal experience as an arts/science practitioner working within the field of cell and tissue culture, the primary discussion centres on the messy and experiential dimension of Bioart ethics and the way in which personal values and experiences affect research approaches and project concepts. This is her research blog...
The Scrapyard Challenge Workshops are intensive workshops where participants build simple electronic projects (both digital and analog inputs) out of found or discarded "junk" (old electronics, clothing, furniture, outdated computer equipment, appliances, turntables, monitors, gadgets, etc..).
So far the workshops have been held 42 times in 14 countries, on 5 continents with 3 different themes including the MIDI Scrapyard Challenge where participants build simple musical controllers from discarded objects and "junk", DIY Wearable Challenge where they create wearable tech projects from used clothing, and the DIY Urban Challenge where they work on public space interventions and other projects.
Performative Design was a creative workshop focusing on the body within projected and far-flung future scenarios. With the UN conference for climate change on our doorstep, performative pioneers (students) focused on body-centric wearable design in the context of climate, environment and sustainability. Students challenged, developed and explored the role of the wearable artifact as a device for protection, connection, enhancement, shelter and survival within their own environmental future-narrative.
